Regarding the authenticity, if you go to Google Books and search on the phrase “not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles” (use the quotation marks), you will find many references from 1910.

Looks real to me.

Part of Deborah Solomon's interview with Shaq: I’m sympathetic to that, but why do so many sportswriters seemed miffed that, at 38, you won’t get out of the game? Now that I’m in a diminished role, everybody says, “He doesn’t have it.” But I will never take criticism from people who can’t do it themselves. You mean sportswriters? Exactly. Now if Kareem comes out and says something, then I have to listen. He’s a guy that’s done more than me. A guy sitting behind a desk writing about what I should do — I will never listen to it.
